Hot Chick In A Badass Suit

There are a lot of ways you can dress a sexy chick to make her even sexier. Cheerleader uniform, tube top and mini-skirt(well, if you like your girls a little skanky), or you can invoke the rule of cool = sexy. And the best way to do that is put her in a badass suit.

Examples

Another example: In one scene in The Dark Knight, Maggie Gyllenhaal is interrogating a guy, while wearing black slacks, a white dress shirt with wide lapels, and a black vest. Pretty much all she needs to complete the look is a rapier. Or two guns.

In Charlie's Angels (one or two, I can't remember) Lucy Liu's character wears a power suit that borders on fetish gear while pretending to be a business consultant.

Showed up during the 'Sister' arc of El Goonish Shive, when Ellen - somewhat crazy and believeing herself to be Elliot's 'Evil Twin' - wears a sharp suit when she goes out to cause trouble (she fails miserably at this goal, and instead winds up playing the hero, but regardless...) Dan Shive even admitted in the notations that he had her dress that way 'cuz he thought it was hot. Ah, here's the introductory strip.

I'm no so sure about the description and/or title for this trope. I mean, plenty of the examples so far are really hot, but I don't think that the suit option is always or even usually motivated by trying to make the actress look the most sexy.
